„Was für mich selbst gut ist, kann meinen Kindern nicht schaden.“ Der Einfluss der elterlichen Freizeitaktivitäten auf die Eltern-Kind-Aktivitäten

Families differ strongly in how they deal with their children. These differences are often attributed to the socio-economic origin of the parents. Numerous studies have shown that the type and the availability of the stimuli in a child’s home environment strongly influence the child’s abilities. But how can the social differences in parent-child interactions be explained? It is argued that parents consciously or unconsciously want to maximize their child-related activities’ utility. This maximization of utility is also visible in parents’ own cultural leisure activities. Thus these should predict the extent of their interactions with their child in the home environment. This utility-theoretical approach is tested by using the data of the project “Preschool education and educational careers among migrant children”. Employing linear regression models, it can be shown that the social differences are related primarily to the cultural leisure behaviour of the parents, rather than to the family’s financial situation. Thus, the parents’ own interests are reflected in their interaction within the home environment, which, in turn, has a direct effect upon their child’s development. Zusammenfassung Familien variieren sehr stark darin, wie sie mit ihren Kindern umgehen. Diese Unterschiede werden oft auf die sozioökonomische Herkunft (SES) der Eltern zurückgeführt. Viele Studien können belegen, dass die Art und der Umfang des häuslichen Anregungsniveaus die Kompetenzentwicklung der Kinder stark beeinflusst. Daher stellt sich die Frage, wodurch die sozialen Unterschiede bei den Eltern-Kind-Interaktionen erklärt werden. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Eltern bewusst oder unbewusst im Rahmen von Aktivitäten mit ihrem Kind ihren Nutzen maximieren wollen. Diese Nutzenmaximierung zeigt sich auch in ihren eigenen hochkulturellen Freizeitaktivitäten. Somit sollten die eigenen Freizeitaktivitäten der Eltern den Umfang an häuslichen Interaktionen mit ihrem Kind vorhersagen. Dieser nutzentheoretische Ansatz wird mit den Daten des Projekts „Erwerb von sprachlichen und kulturellen Kompetenzen von Migrantenkindern in der Vorschulzeit“ überprüft. Mit Hilfe von linearen Regressionsmodellen wird gezeigt, dass die sozialen Unterschiede vor allem mit dem hochkulturellen Freizeitverhalten der Eltern zusammenhängen, und nicht von der finanziellen Situation der Familien abhängen. Somit spiegeln sich die eigenen Interessen der Eltern in der häuslichen Interaktion wider, die wiederum direkt die Kompetenzen der Kinder beeinflusst.

Main Question

Educational inequality is a well-established topic among the scientific community in Western countries. Major individual differences emerge well before children arrive at school. Therefore the following analysis deals with the explanation of early differences in cognitive outcomes. However, there is not much research done in Germany. The main question is if the strong effect of the educational background and the home environment on their outcomes and on the improvement exists as well. To test this, data of the project “Preschool Education and Educational Careers among Migrant Children” was used. The results of structural equation models confirm that the home environment and the education of the parents are important for children's outcomes at the age of 3 to 4. In addition both factors also play a major role for the explanation of the improvement of the cognitive abilities. The results show that in Germany the home environment and parental education are important predictors of cognitive abilities. As a main result the study shows that it is very important to control for earlier abilities of the children and to encourage low educated parents to be active with their children, since in that way they can compensate for their lower educational background.

Abstract This study analyzes the social evaluations of the Andalusian Spanish ceceo merger and its split, distinción. A matched-guise experiment was created by digitally manipulating spontaneous speech from twelve Western Andalusian speakers, varying only in syllable-initial [s̪] and [θ] for <s> and <z,ci,ce>, creating ceceo and distinción guises. Based on 221 listeners from Huelva and Lepe, Spain, mixed effects linear regression models found that speakers with distinción guises were evaluated as being of higher social status, more urban, and more formal than speakers with ceceo guises. Additionally, listeners' comments referred not only to the sounds and graphemes, but also to the merger itself and its social connotations. The implications are two-fold: (i) consonant mergers may be subject to more overt social evaluation than vocalic mergers; and (ii) a merger can acquire social meaning, and this meaning in turn, may promote its split.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of liquidity on financial performance of savings and credit societies in Kenya.Methodology: The study employed an explanatory research design. The target population was 83 registered deposit taking SACCO’s in Kenya that have been in operation for the last five years. The sample size for the study was all 83 SACCOs that have remained in existence since 2011-2015. Census methodology was used in the study. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the data using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) and STATA. A pilot study was conducted to measure the research instruments reliability and validity. Descriptive and inferential analysis was conducted to analyze the data. The data was presented using tables and graphs.Results: Based on the findings the study concluded that liquidity influenced the financial performance of savings and credit societies in Kenya. This can be explained by the regression results which showed that the influence was positive and also showed the magnitude by which liquidity influenced the financial performance of savings and credit societies. The regression results showed that liquidity influenced the financial performance of savings and credit societies by 0.019 units.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended for the deployment of efficient systems to strengthen liquidity risk control fundamentals. SACCO’s should also consider seeking professional guidance towards adopting policies on asset and liability management.

Home Computing

The search for intervention programs aimed at empowering both children and their parents has included a focus on the introduction of computers to the home environment and on parental determination to extend the advantages and benefits of technology to promote their children's academic performance and emotional growth. Using a dynamic and individualistic approach based on observations and research, a home-computing model considers parents' often controversial tendencies related to their child's education. On one hand, parents would like to be more involved in their children's education, but, on the other hand, they have difficulty staying involved as a result of stress related to their child with disabilities, lowered sense of coherence and overload of caring duties. Two suggested strategies are viewed as representing a continuum of parent-child interactions: Creating a supportive climate for home computing and parental tutoring. The social-emotional perspective of children with learning disabilities is discussed as it relates to empowering both parents and children and to promoting their coping strategies by providing opportunities for enabling technology-related experiences.

Regression is one of the dominant analysis methods used in the social sciences and educational sciences. There are different regression methods based on the type of research that is being conducted. The probit and logit regression models are regression methods which are being used recently by most researchers. However, their interpretations are not straightfoward and most researchers end up misinterepreting the results from the probit and logit regression models. This research therefore aims to examine the differences between the probit and logit models, in comparison with other linear regression models. Using a comparative research design, this study utilises resources from previous researchers, hence, the study took a form of a literature review. The results of this study is essential to educational and social sciences researchers who make use of the probit, logit and other regression methods. The research also explains why logit and probit should be used in place of other regression models. Keywords: education sciences; Linear regression; Logit; Probit; Regression

AbstractThis study examines the social perceptions of the traditional Andalusian feature [ʃ] and the Castilian feature [tʃ] in the city of Huelva and the town of Lepe in Western Andalucía, Spain. A matched-guise experiment was created by digitally manipulating spontaneous speech from twelve Western Andalusian speakers, varying only in word-medial syllable-initial [tʃ] and [ʃ] for <ch> in disyllabic words. Based on 221 listeners from Huelva and Lepe, mixed effects linear regression models indicate that listeners evaluated speakers with [tʃ] guises as being of higher status, more cosmopolitan, and less friendly than speakers with [ʃ] guises. These findings interacted with speaker and listener gender, listener educational level, and listener origin. The implications are twofold: the traditional Andalusian feature is evaluated as less overtly prestigious than the supra-local Castilian feature; and, that two nearby communities of the same dialect variety may share similar language attitudes, but demonstrate nuanced differences in attitudes due to their unique historical and socioeconomic developments.

Today, worldview, spiritual and moral problems that have always been reflected in education and upbringing come to the fore in society. In this situation, there is a demand for philosophical categories. One of the priority goals of education in modern conditions is the formation of a reasonable, reflexive person who is able to analyze their actions and the actions of other people. Modern science is characterized by an understanding of the absolute value and significance of childhood in the development of the individual, which implies the need for its multilateral study. In the conditions of democratization of all spheres of life, the child ceases to be a passive object of education and training, and becomes an active carrier of their own meanings of being and the subject of world creation. One of the realities of childhood is philosophizing, so it is extremely timely to address the identification of its place and role in the world of childhood. Children's philosophizing is extremely poorly studied, although the need for its analysis is becoming more obvious. Children's philosophizing is one of the forms of philosophical reflection, which has its own qualitative specificity, on the one hand, and commonality with all other forms of philosophizing, on the other. The social relevance of the proposed research lies in the fact that children's philosophizing can be considered as an intellectual indicator of a child's socialization, since the process of reflection involves the adoption and development of culture. Modern society, in contrast to the traditional one, is ready to "accept" a philosophizing child, which means that it is necessary to determine the main characteristics and conditions of children's philosophizing.
